Origin and history

The 2 Tumulus of Arne are collective or individual burials, characteristic of ancient funeral practices. Their presence in Arne, Occitanie, reflects an ancient human occupation in this area, although their precise dating is not established in the available sources. The tumulus, or funeral tart, were often erected to mark the location of a grave or a set of graves.

In southern France, these structures were generally associated with protohistoric or ancient populations, reflecting funeral rites and a complex social organization. Their study provides a better understanding of the lifestyles and beliefs of the local communities of the time.
